- Lisa Giampa-MignognaApril 26, 2015So many different variations to choose from but chipotle beef is my fav! They deliver and even two three towns away! Get lunch special and save, 2 empanadas and Spanish rice and beans and drink.
Steven EstremeraOctober 17, 2013The pernil is awesome! Latin shrimp is great also! Coming from the city I always appreciate good Hispanic food on the island. AND IT'S A PUERTO RICAN SPOT NOT MEXICAN!
Jessica BMarch 20, 2015Soooo good. Staff is friendly and service is fast. My new favorite place for empanadas.
Carlos RosadoFebruary 12, 2013Sorry if I am being a little picky here, but this food is from a Caribbean latin culture and not mexican. Food is awsome and so is the flan. Empanadas de camaron! Off the hook.
Rory AlarconNovember 19, 2014Any kind of Empanada you can think of. They will even make BAKED Empanadas if you give them a call ahead of time.
Kris ConstantelosNovember 1, 2014I got the simple stuff. Chicken and cheese empanada and chipotle beef empanada. Both were bangin'. Debating another one as I type this.
